That's an interesting idea (using e-ink for coding), but I wonder if the benefit would be offset by the loss of syntax highlighting. I wonder how effective it would be to re-implement it by using varying foreground or background shades of gray, or varying widths of stroke.
EDIT: After thinking about it, I imagine the software using these displays already convert color to grayscale for images in documents, etc. I imagine that conversion would work with pre-existing syntax highlighting. Oddly, I can't find images online of source code being displayed on e-ink.
I've been looking for a reason to get a reMarkable tablet. Maybe this is the excuse I need. Since root access comes out-of-the-box, it might not be too hard to set it up as a display for coding.
Then again, maybe a display like those shared in these comments would be more cost-effective.
